Riley Martin

many advertisements, rest is unreliably referenced and is possibly an affront to human dignity Jeff Biggs 12:12, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep & cleanup - Obviously notable (hosting a show on satellite radio, howard stern appearances, etc). We may need to cull some content from the article, and ensure that claims made are attributed and verifiable.  /Blaxthos 13:53, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete We are here to Determinenotability, not Assert it. 'Obviously' doesn't do anything for the discussion. If he is notable, give us some suitable references and add them to the page. MarkBul 15:50, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, probably trim - I'm not sure if he's notable, but he is vaguely amusing, until you get tired of him. He WAS on the Jerry Springer Show, and he's been on Howard Stern's show many times, and he has his own weekly show on Sirius Satellite Radio, and he's published a book, and I believe he does a podcast-type show..  AND he was captured by aliens twice! MGlosenger 07:25, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup: 1) Martin is clearly and undeniably a radio host with an audience following and a media history, he therefore passes notability. 2) No redflag claims are made about him, therefore the sources are reliably enough for the purpose (you don't need peer review journal entries to prove that somebody is a radio host). 3) There are no Wikipedia policies covering human dignity in relation to the greater population the last Afd point is therefore mute. - perfectblue 07:43, 2 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete as OR - only 1 RS. Bearian 02:17, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup: Notable, celebrity of multiple media formats and outlets, fanbase. Article does need more references and more notations, but I think it's workable.  --Bark 13:41, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep:I'm pretty sure that Riley Martin has already survived a deletion discussion. Xpendersx 01:19, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Citations within article show he is a national radio personality. Citations show he hosts a national show and is a noted guest on shows such as Coast to Coast AM. Citations for his Howard Stern Show appearances should be found though. MrBlondNYC 21:53, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
